I might think about getting one then because I got a new printer...  BJC-6000 
that is suprisingly GREAT at doing prints... as long as they are tiffs 
instead of jpegs  ;-)

What I was going to ask next is... has anyone tried Genuine Fractals to get 
rid of the "pixel-y" look?  At Nikon School last year they had a huge door 
poster they made from a Cool Pix 950 image and they said it was possible 
because of Genuine Fractals filling in all the pixels so that the resolution 
was awesome!!!
This DOOR size poster looked great too... no "digital" traces to it at all!
I guess you can use it as a plug in for Photoshop.... if anyone tries it let 
me know  ;-)
